Rodon (3-8) took the loss Friday as the Yankees fell 12-5 loss to the Royals, failing to record an out while allowing eight runs on six hits and two walks.
Rodon had put together quality starts in his previous two outings but allowed all eight batters he faced to reach base Friday prior to his removal. By the time the inning was over, all eight runners had crossed the plate in the worst outing of his career. It's been a rough first season in New York for Rodon, who saw his ERA rise more than a point from 5.74 to 6.85 with this outing.
